The continued and growing interest in computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) prompted us to add a new edition to the two previous volumes on this subject last edited in 2007 by J.B. Stiehl, A.M. DiGioia, and us both. Moreover, additional developments in the field of CAOS have closed the circle from the methods presented in our first edition in 2001 to the presently available techniques of leg axis restoration and implant positioning by individual cutting devices, as described initially by Portheine and coworkers in the first edition, giving us another reason to do so.
